Ampy's Farseer, Liveship & Tawny Man Thread (spoilers)

I agreed with you on the point he should not have ended up with Molly - I was just trying to point out that it did, somewhat, make sense. Him being less of a person while Forged makes even more sense given how Hobb built her world.

Most, if not all, of your points have made sense. I think the ending we were given made sense but it was not at the level that the previous 9 books evinced. In several instances something else would have made more sense.

Our connection with characters comes through weaving together various elements. The Fool living on after his death by the hand of the Pale Woman made sense but the series would have been a better body of work if he had not. I love the Fool as much as anyone but his death was part of his life and fit with the story arc of the series. Him living on weakened the investment I had in that world of characters. I said elsewhere that I mourn when I complete a series I did not mean literally mourning the death of a character but I felt much less after the ending of this series. Had the Fool truly died it would have been something I carried with me for the rest of my life.
